Texture Mods

I was just wondering if there will be functionality to redo some of the older textures from the games later on? I known for the devs its outside of their contractual privileges, but how about modders? I honestly don't known about the capabilities of ie to even allow such mods, so apologies for an uneducated question.

I've already ranted about the water in previous threads, but something like the re-rendering for skyrim was simply amazing, and would help bring forth some of the nay-sayers who dread older graphics.

The original plan for BG:EE was a total HD revamp, however, the original BG art was all lost.

Now, because Beamdog has came up with a method to use a 3d modeler to design levels, then fix the camera in a 3/4 isometric view, technically it would be possible to redesign the original zones. I don't think BD has the time, money, or license rights to do such a thing though. It would have to be modders.
